Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, hoping someone can help. Looking for an original ECU file to flash to my ME7.2 ECU. 2000 Boxster S. DME PN is 996.618.605.00. HW version 261204790. I'm using a MPPS V18, and can communicate with it in boot mode. Able to read the corrupted flash but I don't have anything to write. I bought a file online for 10 bucks that is supposed to work, but is showing as a 513kb file instead of 512kb. Been told different tools add different headers, so not sure what to do next. Just need to write something to it, then I can change the options back to my vehicle in PIWIS. email is danwec at gmail dot com if would rather email. Cheers!
